at the side: Two tables were on each side, as you come into the porch of the gate; and two on each side of the inner part of the gate that looked towards the altar; in all eight tables, on which they slew and cut up the victims. It does not appear that any such tables were used either in the tabernacle or temple; and this seems to intimate the introduction of a new and more spiritual dispensation. See the references.

as one goeth up: or, at the step, Ezekiel 40:35

Reciprocal: Ezekiel 44:4 - the way

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate, were two tables,.... Or, "the door of the north gate" p; not the first, upon coming up the eight steps; but passing through that gate, and along the porch where the three little chambers and the two tables on each side were, before mentioned; and coming to the inmost gate, which opens directly into the inward court, on the outside of that towards the altar, were two other tables, for the same use as before:

and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables; there were two on one side of the gate, and two on the other, that is, the last gate of the porch, in all eight tables; four within the spaces between the little chambers in the porch, and four as you come out of it, on each side of the last gate.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

On either side of the entrance of the north gate (from the inner court), were two tables on the one side and two tables on the other side of the porch.
